==Churches==
The cantonment church is called St Paul's and it has a large graveyard and war memorial. St Paul’s Church, ‘an edifice which has been much admired’ was designed by Captain George Atkinson of the Bengal Engineers, according to this [http://www.archive.org/stream/balladsofburmaan00oolarich#page/4/mode/2up Archives,org link]. He was the author of ''Curry & rice' on forty plates : or, The ingredients of social life at 'our station' in India'', published 1860, refer [[Society reading list#Other aspects of society|Society reading list]], which may have been based on life in the cantonment at Umballa.
St Paul's Church was bombed in 1965 and is now in ruins.
